Leonardo, taking part in various European Defense Fund-backed projects, could face significant repercussions in the event of a cyber attack. One such instance could include a breach leading to the leak of sensitive technological data and intellectual property. Given the company's involvement in defense technologies, such a breach could affect internal employee data and potentially compromise national and EU military capabilities. This could have far-reaching impacts on the organization's reputation, financial standing, and the security of the region, threatening the military and economic stability.
